UK Labour in real trouble

It was only a few months ago UK Labour won in a landslide (helped by FPP). The next election is many years away, but they have a problem that their brand has turned negative so quickly, that it could be hard to change in future.

The latest More in Common poll has the following:

  • Labour tied with Conservatives at 27% each, and Reform at 21%
  • Labour under 15% with over 65s
  • Only 17% think they are doing a good job and 56% a bad job
  • Only 12% of women say good job and 59% bad job
  • Of those who voted Labour a few months ago, only 44% say the Govt is doing a good job and 33% a bad job – so 1 in 3 Labour voters have already turned
  • Keir Starmer has -38% net approval, Rachel Reeves -34%
  • An an A to F rating, 45% give them E or F and only 15% an A or B
  • 29% of Labour voters give the Government a D or worse
  • Their net approval on issues is cost living -59%, Immigration -59%, Ethics -49%
